Taylor Swift To Perform on New Royal Caribbean Ship

The 16-deck, 5,400-passenger Royal Caribbean colossus, Allure of the Seas, will finally part the oceans on December 1, rolling out equally aggrandized country music sensation, Taylor Swift, on its January 16 sailing. The baby-faced Grammy-award-winning starlet will perform on January 21, in the ships AquaTheater (a signature open-air arena with an ocean view), while the vessel idles in Cozumel, Mexico  the last port in the Western Caribbean itinerary.

Last year, Swift was catapulted to the pinnacle of celebrity by the microphone-stealing, speech-interrupting Kanye West during her Video Music Awards appearance on MTV (Taylor, Im happy for you, Ill let you finish, but ). This year, Americas sweetheart is riding on the heels of her new album release, Speak Now, wildly successful and adored for her talented pipes, self-written lyrics, and wholesome demeanor.

In order to get passes to the concert, passengers will be invited to participate in Taylor Swift-themed events during the cruise (trivia, karaoke, etc.). Others will have the chance to hear the show from the balconies and suites surrounding the AquaTheater. The seven-night, round-trip Western Caribbean-bound cruise will depart from Fort Lauderdale and visit Labadee, Haiti, in addition to Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico. Rates start from $1,065 for interior cabins.
